Plus Size Bugaboo™ III Fleece Interchange Jacket

kept warm and cozy with -12 to -18C in Hokkaido, Japan.

Very versatile and great quality The fleece jacket attached inside is so warm and cozy. I don’t have to wear extra layers that are bulky to stay warm. The removable hood and inside layer gives you 4 interchangeable options. Also sizing…I got a 2xl. I wanted a good fit without it being to fitted or to loose. The Columbia website has a sizing tool that helped me figure out the size I needed.

I love the colors so much! The variety of how to wear this coat is perfect! I'm most impressed with the water resistance - i live in the PNW and finding a coat that doesn't wverntly become a sponge has been a BATTLE. But the outer shell holds up, I can stay dry, warm, comfortable and adorable all at once.

I got this jacket to replace a Columbia jacket I've had for at least 20 years. I wore it when I had to work outside (acreage in South Dakota). I never had a cold upper body with the original, so I really wanted to stay with Columbia. I hoped to find the same style, but things change.So far, this jacket is warm. The fleece of the inner jacket is so soft. Love it. My old jacket didn't have that exactly, so when I put the jacket on when I had short sleeves, my arms would be cold. I started storing it in the house instead of the garage, but not with this new one.So why not 5 stars? My old jacket had a breast pocket which was really handy to place my phone. This one does not. At first I didn't think it was a big deal - then I had to bend down and the phone in the lower pocket was (painfully) in the way. This is a pretty major design flaw to me since I imagine most people do carry their phones with them.2nd issue I have .. for some reason, when I put the jacket on, the left inner arm goes out the sleeve - a lot. Even when wearing short sleeves.. I haven't taken the jacket apart to see if the sleeve is actually longer than the right sleeve, but it's just very irritating.3rd issue: the velcro covering the zipper. Old jacket had buttons there, which I never used. This one has velcro. Very strong velcro (probably a plus for those that need it). So when I zip up my jacket, the velcro automatically attaches. And when I have to zip it down.. I have to work every single one of those strong velcro patches. And the fold is on the left side, which feels awkward to me.Still, I am considering buying another jacket for everyday wear. I usually wear leather jackets when I go out, but this one is, overall, rather nice. I like that it's not one of those poofy jackets that appear to be so popular nowadays. The material is hardy - I was afraid my cat would claw it up the way he holds on to me when it's cold, but not a mark.

It is a nice coat. Warm and looks great. 2 changes would make it a better coat. It doesn't have a 3rd zipper pocket to keep small items in so they don't fall out. The second problem is that the fleece doesn't have a liner in the sleeves so it is actually hard to put on.It is very difficult to find out what other options would work with the shell. It would be outstanding of Columbia would swap out the velcro with snaps.

Justo a la medida

I had to return it it was a size too big. Runs big in size

Great jacket for trip to the snow. Not heavy but warm.
